Preventing Contractual Disputes with Delay Analysis in Primavera P6

Introduction :

In large-scale infrastructure, industrial, and energy projects, contractual disputes rarely arise from a single event — they result from misunderstood impacts, poor documentation, and reactive project control.

The most powerful prevention tool?

👉 Forensic delay analysis, grounded in planning logic and contractual rigor.

At Alvid Consulting, we specialize in transforming project schedules into strategic risk and claim management tools using Primavera P6 and internationally recognized methodologies:

🔹 Time Impact Analysis (TIA) to evaluate entitlement to Extension of Time (EOT),

🔹 Critical Path recalculation to isolate true delay drivers,

🔹 Compliance with AACE Recommended Practices and the SCL Delay & Disruption Protocol,

🔹 Integration with contractual frameworks (FIDIC, NEC, CCAG, bespoke EPCs).

💡 Why it matters:

When executed correctly, delay analysis helps project stakeholders:

✅ Identify and mitigate delays in real time,

✅ Secure entitlement to time and cost claims,

✅ Strengthen negotiation leverage,

✅ Avoid prolonged arbitration or litigation.

📌 Recent Case Study (anonymized):

A contractor faced back-charges for delay penalties. Our forensic delay analysis demonstrated concurrent delays, lack of instruction, and client interference. Outcome: P6-based TIA validated, penalties waived, and EOT granted — avoiding costly legal proceedings.
